in the vicinity of Paris, Tex, by the
remarkable recovery OF Mr.. ]. E. Cor

turn in bed, or raise his head; every

Discovery was sent him. Finding re-
Eef, he bought large bottle and a box
of DR.. King's New Life Pills; by the
time he had taken two boxes of Pills

was well and had gained in flesh thir-

Sweet spring, who brings the waiting yea
It's birds and flowers.

An echo from some singing bird,
Adown the gale;

Half hidden In the lev ground

A poets sonnet.

Bake bake bakel
In autumn, winter and spring,
And still with the voice OF tremulous uual,
She but of the cake doth sing.
Beat beat beat! 1868 ff tD
While the batter is foamlng high,
And bake bake baket

But no he bears him bravely,
And the woman continues to bake,
Spreading and lifting and turning,
While the man he takes the cake.

Was II sulphur
After the rain storm of last Saturday there
was a considerable deposit of u yellow su bstance
strongly resembling in appearance pulverzed
sulphur to be seen ia III. caves barrels and at
other places where the rain collected. This
was pronounced BY mlny to be sulphur
brought down from the clouds by the rain and
the phsnon snon gave rise to much speculation.
Whatever it was, it was certainly deposited
with the rain, but the oderless and taste less
character Of the deposit tend to di<prove the
theory that it was sulphur. A similar deposit
was q en- in Washington and Prof Lester Wood,
the botanist Of the National Museum was asked
for an explanation as to tn. nature and po ser
of the yellow powder, when he gave the fol-
lowing ex pla nation, which is dous the true
solution..of the mystery: He said he had no
hesitation in pronouncing it vegetable pollen.

To the stranger coming to our country II
may seem as though We were an idle people,
from the fact that many OF our farms do not
srem to be in Il high state OF cultivation. and
many fields have grown up. But it will be
remem bered that before the war the farms mere
were generally in large tracts, and at the close
OF the when the negroes were freeu, Tue
farmers were left without sufficient means 10
hire labor 10 farm extensive tracts, consequent
ly necessity compelled them to abandon many
of their fields, and only farm those most con-
venient to their barns and houses. The young

Nays county, Md, but for some time past a
resident of Alexandria, Va, died at his resi-

the 4th inst at 9:l5, aged sixty-three years
from a complication of diseases. Mr. Maddox
was taken sick several weeks ago with dropsy-
cal affection, and contin.ed 10 grow worse
from day to day. The most eminent medical
aid WAS sum mnoned from that city, Washington
and Baltimore, and every means that skilled
ph, sicians, and an atfec,ionate and loving
family could sse, were applied. and at one time
the family had hopes that the disease has sue
combed to treatment, but their hopes were of
short duration, as a change for the worse soon
set in and the patient grew weaker and weaker

The Wool Market.

The Wool Market.
Messrs Cnipchase Brothers, the eIterpris-
ing commission merchants of Baltimore, Nd,
are out with their annual wool circular, which
contains some valuable information for the
sheep husbandman. These gentlemen are eI-
tensively engaged in the sale of wool, 10 which
they devote special attention, and hat they
say is for that reason entitled to special consid-
eration We quote from their circular as fol-
lows:
There is but little stock Of uawashed wool in
all the markets, and most of it very poor. The
Baltimore market is entirely bare of stock of
all description; aside from this the Baltimore
market will have advantage over the other
markets in freight, in consequence of it being
the neare>t market TO the wool growing section
as the change ia freight rates caused BY the
Interstate Commerce Act, will be f.lt by ali
who handle wool, and en- long distances the
rates in many instances will be greatly ad-
vanced. Manufacturers are holding of tor new
and choice wool and these wools will have
good and ready sale on arrival, and at the
prices we uuete for InH ashed, lighr and bright
wool e d. not look for lower market, but
rather think as the choice new woods come for
ward, manufacturers may be encouraged to
buy at full values. Do not sell your wool 10
travelling buyers, but ship it yourself, as there
is the same profit for you as there would be for
these travelling hucksters. Assert your 6eeees
nicely without putting in dirty locks and tags
and pack in wool sacks, v hiSh you can get by
writing 10 US, then ship and We will ind a
ready purchaser, and send sales and check in
from l to days after arrival. This is de-
cided advantage that the Baltimore market has
over Philadelphia. New York and Boston mar
kets, in that We can sell wool of all grades Of
each shipment on arrival and do not have to
hold sales open for months for the Common
grades, as in the ease in the above markets.
Wool varies ia quality according to the section
of country. and to get correct figures for your
section, you should write for quotations and
send samples. Sap wool soon as received
as It loeses rapidly in weght just after shearing
In soliciting your consignnents, We feel that
our facilities for handling wool are not surpass'
ed by any house in the market. We sell dirett
to manufacturers and, unless otherwise ordered,
sell promptly AS .oou rs received Tor cash DC

The Growth Of Nebraska.

The Union Pacific Railroad was com-
pleted in May, 1869. Two years before
in lS67-Nebraska was admitted to
the Union. She had then 10000 popu-
lation, occupying the sections adjacent
to the Missouri and chiefly south Of the
Platte. In 1880 the population Of the
State was 452, 402. Settlement and agri-
culture had then become general and
prosperous over the eastern half Of the
State, and was beginning to subdue it's
western half. Field culture had already
obtained a firm hold along and between
lines of railway ~ far west as the Tooth
meridian. In June, 1855, the popula-
ton Of Nebraska had increased to
74O,645, or more than go per cent. in five
years. The increase in her great farm
products, the small grains, corn. hay,
cattle and hogs, was in propOrtionate
ratio. Agriculture, thickening in the
the centra! and eastern portions, was
steadily c%onquering westward. In 1885
homesteaders settling on the uplands
in the vicinity of Sydney first broke
ground for farms in Cheyenne County.
The products of the first year were corn
yielding from 80 to 40 bushels per acre,
cats producing from 30 to 40 bushels,
potatoes averaging from 100 to $50
bushels, and wheat yielding from IS to
20 bushels to the acre; there were other
varieties of field and root crops, the
tame grasses, and trees of equally en-
c%ouraging growth. This on the l03d
meridian, but a single degree east Of
the meridian of Denver.
